This densely layered three-dimensional representation of a mummy is one in a long series of self-portraits by Jane Hammond. The hieroglyphics that ring her torso are drawn from the artist’s 276-part lexicon of images, which she repeats in different combinations, orientations, and colors in many of her print-based works. These images are drawn from a variety of graphic sources―from antique books to Internet clip art―and their re-use in different contexts allows Hammond to play with their meaning. According to Hammond, “I was trying to figure out how to make a kind of work that was decentered and variable, wandering and unpredictable, even to me.” Here, the images literally “entomb” the artist, encasing her body within a complex pattern of symbols.
